I have been with my husband for 7 years. Trouble is he does not appear to trust me. He also sulks over nothing. I am being pulled in all directions and I'm at breaking point!

I have a high powered job and am on call 24/7 - I have a Blackberry and will often look at it in the evenings - not when we are doing something together - but perhaps he is watching sport on TV. I am open about what I am reading - but he gives me the impression that he thinks its some guy just emailing me. Likewise if I reply to an email - I get "who are you texting/emailing now.

I am now in the doghouse as I've been working from home all morning - really hard as well, he goes to work at lunchtime comes over and says goodbye - I kiss him goodbye and say to have a good day. He stomps off downstairs in a strop - why - because I did not drop everything follow him down and make a fuss of him. This from the man who is busy on his computer when I get home from work and doesn't come down to see me when I get in - but that does not really bother me.

I can't seem to do anything right, if I had my way I'd give up work tomorrow and become a housewife looking after the family - but I'm not allowed to do that because he likes our lifestyle.

I am being pulled in all directions and I'm at breaking point

Any advice?

A female reader, birdynumnums Canada +, writes (7 March 2007):

birdynumnums agony auntHas he always been like this or is the behavior new? Sometimes the best defence is a good offence! Is he behaving oddly otherwise? Losing time, showering when he gets home, more business trips, new clothes or exercising more? If the behavior has just appeared, better question why - he may be reacting out of guilt. Sorry to bring up the possibility, hope I'm wrong. If it's just the same behavior he has always exhibited, then there is little you can do about it. Jealousy is usually the sign of low self-esteem and even if you reassure him constantly, only he can resolve his own issues. Marriage counceling or a therapist could help. I think this is his issue and not yours. Good Luck.

Get rid of your husband. Sorry but life is too short to have someone dampen your glow. Why be down hearted when his mistrust comes into play? I will bet anything his doubt is caused by his own mind. In reality he doubts himself and your a pawn in his fantasy world, Get rid as soon as possible.
